I am itching to get back into boating. Had one 8 years ago, and then small children came around and had to sell, so now that they are 6 and 8, it is time to get back to fun on the water.
Evaluating few options.
My first indications is to get a 19-21 ft ski boat that can be used around the lakes in Northeast (lake george, Placid, Sunape, winnipesaukee, finger lakes) but I am also thinking of a getting a boat in the 22-24 ft that has a cabin for stay the night over. What is the smallest size boat that can sleep 4 (2 adults 2 children) but still be towable? From reading on this forum, some suggestions are:
1. Wellcraft 232 coastal
2. Larson 220
3. Campion Allante 705i Sport Cabin
4. Crownline CCR 230
5. Monterey 236 Montura
How manageable is to tow these with a 5.7V Toyota Sequoia?
How challenging it will be to get them in and out of the water?
Can 4 of us fit in the sleeping arrangements that provide?
Would boats of this size be fine in the sound to go across Falmouth to the Vineyard or to Block Island?
Thank you for your input.
